i had a track that i used for about 5 events and had zero cars get fucked up. it was a kart track the perfect track to use for drift events. no curbs, no walls, no poles, no trees. in a parking lot setup for driftin you hit a pole either you are really stupid or the event set the track up wrong....go to an autocross and see how they set the track up so if you do over shoot a turn it won't put you towards a pole. cones do not count as an obstical to be scared of hitting. on an oval its just too much of a chance that even the best can lose a car instantly. he can do 20 perfect laps and then one little fuck up and its over. then when he needs a new shell all the posers have them damn it.
